Just a refresh on this charming home-based business... they're still going strong! Our New Year's Eve included a couple dozen of these tasty and very meaty rolls — some with rice paper and some with pastry wraps. The special rich and tangy nước chấm dipping sauce is the best you'll find in town. I'd recommend this business heartily even if it weren't run by a friend! 😊

Pork spring rolls and/or Beef spring rolls. Wrapped in your choice of either pastry or rice paper wrappers. Served with your choice of our family recipe fish sauce or plum sauce. All spring rolls are deep fried using vegetable oil.

When a friend gives me samples of her home-based food product to try, I have a choice: say nice things or say nothing at all. Thankfully the decision was easy in this case!
These meaty and delicious spring rolls are on par with the best I've had at Vietnamese restaurants in town. In fact, I'm not even sure where to go these days for rolls as good as these. Considering restaurants are charging $4-5 per pair, their price of $3 per pair (minimum order of a dozen rolls) is very reasonable.
The nước chấm dipping sauce is worth mentioning. Most Ottawa restaurants leave out the sliced chilis and save money and effort by using vinegar instead of lime juice. Not here! The fish sauce is absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.
